MANILA, PHILIPPINES -
Media OutReach Newswire - 18 April 2026 -
VinFast today announced the signing of Memoranda of Understanding
(MoUs) on strategic cooperation with 14 e-scooter distributors in the
Philippines. The agreements demonstrate VinFast's ability to rapidly
scale its retail network, while further affirming its long-term
commitment to advancing green mobility and building a comprehensive
electric mobility ecosystem in the Philippines.
To support its planned product launch in June 2026, VinFast has
continued to partner with leading motorcycle distributors in the
Philippines, including Wheeltek Motor Sales Corporation; Gentrade
International Phils., Inc. (Transcycle); Superbikes Corporation;
Motoxpress Sales Corporation; FMN Industrial Corp.; Eduhome Enterprise,
Inc.; Keymotors Incorporated; Motorpro by Abenson Ventures Inc. and
Aserco; Moto Atelier Inc.; Ciclo Suerte; HG Motorzone; HGC Main
Marketing (Motorboy); BLC Cycle Parts Supply; and Auto Ten Trade &
Services Corp. Similar to the partners signed in January 2026, these
partners have extensive networks, demonstrate strong operational
capabilities, and possess longstanding experience in the motorcycle
business, alongside a clear orientation toward the green transition.
VinFast and its partners will collaborate to rapidly roll out a showroom
network across the market, with many outlets expected to be launched in
parallel at the time of product introduction, laying the foundation for
accelerated expansion of nationwide sales and after-sales services. The
showrooms will be developed in high-demand areas with strong potential
for green transition such as Metro Manila, Metro Davao, Rizal, Laguna,
Cavite, Batangas, Metro Cebu, Bulacan, and other major urban provinces,
and will adhere to VinFast's global standards for operations and brand
identity.
In the initial phase, the network will distribute a portfolio of
swappable-battery e-scooters, including Evo, Feliz II, Viper, and other
models expected to be launched in the near future, alongside upcoming
models that will be further adapted to local infrastructure conditions
and consumer usage patterns in the Philippines.
The Philippines is one of Southeast Asia's largest motorcycle markets,
characterized by strong demand for personal mobility and rapid
urbanization. Amid fuel price volatility and a growing shift toward
sustainable solutions, e-scooters are emerging as a promising pathway,
particularly when supported by an integrated ecosystem.
VinFast is pioneering the development of a comprehensive e-scooter
ecosystem in the Philippines, encompassing dealer networks, after-sales
services, financing solutions, and energy infrastructure. Notably, the
company aims to deploy approximately 30,000 battery-swapping stations
nationwide in the near term, in collaboration with infrastructure
partners, to deliver a convenient and flexible user experience.
Earlier in 2026, VinFast announced plans to expand its e-scooter
business across five key international markets, including the
Philippines, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Malaysia, as part of its
global strategy to scale a green mobility ecosystem.
Ms. Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of VinFast E-Scooters Overseas Market, said: "
Our
partnerships with 14 major dealers in the Philippines mark an important
step in rapidly establishing a strong distribution and service
foundation from the outset. We are not only introducing products
tailored to local needs, but also developing an integrated ecosystem,
from battery-swapping infrastructure to after-sales services, enabling
consumers to access and adopt e-scooters in a convenient, efficient, and
sustainable manner."
In recent years, VinFast has steadily built its presence across key
Southeast Asian markets, including the Philippines, through a diverse
electric vehicle portfolio and strategic partnerships in infrastructure
and services. The expansion into e-scooters further completes its green
mobility ecosystem in the market and the region, while providing
consumers with more flexible options in the transition to sustainable
transportation.
